Islamabad, Aug 13 : Senior PML-N leader Ch Nisar Ali Khan has said reportedly that the country's next President would be from a smaller province, and that his party was already working to find a suitable candidate for the post, after Pervez Musharraf is removed though impeachment.

Talking to reporters outside the parliament house, he said former chief justice Saeeduz Zaman Siddiqui, Asfandyar Wali Khan and veteran Baloch leader Sardar Ataullah Mengal were respected figures and one of them could be considered for the post, reported the Dawn.

The PML-N leader denied rumours about a compromise on the issue of impeachment.

The speculations about the next President began in Pakistan after PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari said that Musharraf was now a "guest of a few days" only.
